Description

Bob Denver as "Gilligan". 1935-2005 Painter and Wacom tablet. I have a confession to make: I am a true fan of Gilligan's Island. I have been buying the DVDs as they've been released (3 down, 1 to go), and whenever the show was rerun in the past, I made it a point to never miss the show. Yes, I know the show is silly (sublimely so) and corny (supremely so). So why do I love it? Why do I watch it repeatedly? Because it makes me laugh. No matter how many times I watch it. And this gentleman was one of the main reasons why. I was ages 11-14 during the original run of the show, just the right time of life to fall in love with this wonderfully goofy show, and now it's forever a part of me. Thanks, and so long, little buddy. John

Very warm render and nicely done. I too am a fan of the show and yes it was silly and there were a million different ways that they could have gotten off of that island, but that was what made it so funny. Somewhere up on a deserted island in the sky Rob Denver is looking down at this portrait and smiling...and listening to that little white radio that never ran out of batteries. LOL!

Gilligan's Island has never been shown where I live - I've never even heard about it... But you always make wonderful portraits :)

More people around the world know the theme song to Gilligan's Island then any other TV show theme song so that tells you how many people all over the world loved Gilligan's Island. I too grew up watching Gilligan's Island and can still watch it and loving seeing the reruns. Very nice tribute to are little buddy Gilligan.

I was a fan of his from his debut role as beatnik Mayanrd G Krebs on "The Lives and Loves of Dobie Gillis." Heck, I used to even watch "Far Out Space Nuts" because of him. (BTW, Russell Johnson's theory on why The Professor was unable to get them off the island was that HE DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE, being the only available male on the island.)

A great tribute to a man whose willingness to be a clown for all of us made millions laugh for decades.
